Sr.Honorary Fellow HCM, Ripa
General Suggestions:-
1. Paper I Administrative Environment is required to be divided into two parts
(i) Administrative Environment
(ii) Law
(If Possible there may be separate paper for law only, because the trainee officers come from various
academic disciplines so they are required to be acquainted with basic knowledge of some important laws)
2 Separate Paper for Economic Environment and planning is not required (as already suggested by the course committee). Important topics of this paper may be aided in other papers.
Paper wise and topic wise suggestions are submitted in following table ;
